8-%28-3n%29=3n-2 Start with the given equation



8%2B3n=3n-2 Rewrite -%28-3n%29 as +3n


3n=3n-2-8Subtract 8 from both sides


3n-3n=-2-8 Subtract 3n from both sides


0n=-2-8 Combine like terms on the left side


0n=-10 Combine like terms on the right side


0=-10 Simplify

Since this equation is never true for any n value, this means there are no solutions.
